Quantitative Portfolio Implementation Analyst

About the role

We are seeking a highly motivated professional to bridge quantitative research, portfolio management, technology, trading, and middle & back-office teams. The analyst will partner with portfolio managers on the day-to-day operations of portfolio management, and collaborate with researchers, engineering, trading, and Man Group operations to ensure portfolios are managed accurately and our investment management infrastructure runs as intended.

You will operate with a high level of autonomy. Our goal is to build your knowledge of the entire systematic investment management process (from Equity Long Only and Equity Market Neutral to Multi-Strategy and Global Macro) and the investment philosophy driving Systematic, empowering you to identify challenges, evaluate solutions, and deliver improvements and innovation independently.

• Implement high-impact, real-time changes to the investment management and trading environment, including rolling out new quantitative research, launching new products, managing client and other constraints, and refitting existing products and strategies.
• Orchestrate and coordinate the investment process for new fund and complex SMA launches, ensuring clear ownership across front-office and central functions
• Portfolio operations:
• Design and implement the new operating model for Equity Market Neutral, Equity Long Only and Fixed

Further information can be found at www.man.com * As at 31 March 2026 THE TEAM Man Group's quantitative investment engines, AHL and Numeric, are aligning under Systematic (USD ~138bn AUM). As part of this integration, we are expanding our Investment and Data Implementation (IDI) team, which has supported AHL for many years, into a new Boston-based team supporting the Man Numeric business. The global IDI team spans Hong Kong, Sofia, London and now Boston. The Boston team is responsible for implementing all new business and portfolios (funds, Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs), and investment strategies), maintaining the integrity of systematic models, and steering the long-term development of our trading initiatives. Our mission is to ensure every quantitative strategy is implemented with precision and aligned with its investment objectives, from initial research idea through to the last trade. Though Boston-based and focused primarily on Man Numeric's content, as part of Systematic, you will be part of a connected global network, sharing tooling, codebase, and implementation capabilities across all four locations. The problems the team solves are diverse, complex, and high-impact. The team is the primary responder when production issues halt the investment managers, requiring rapid diagnosis and resolution without introducing new risks. The team are the operational architects who translate a researcher's ideal strategy or portfolio into a robust, scalable solution, balancing speed, resilience, and business logic. The team also works closely with other areas such as Portfolio Management and Trading to explain why an algorithm and portfolio optimizer generated specific trades. Finally, we partner with technologists to help design trading architecture that is automated, scalable, and transparent enough for manual intervention when necessary. This role offers exceptional exposure. Man Group's flat structure means your work is widely visible across the group, you will be working with portfolio managers, quantitative researchers, product structuring specialists, and traders, with the opportunity and expectation to contribute, propose solutions, and make decisions regardless of seniority. You'll be supported throughout and as you build confidence, you will represent the global IDI team on cross-departmental working groups and present findings directly to senior management.
